If I sac 3 locations, Does each of the searched out cards need to be different from each other or from the 3 sacraficed location? I believe it’s the latter just double checking though.

Yeah, this is a good question. As I read it, it's totally ambiguous between whether it's "(e.g.) Sacrifice an Iron Mines to get anything that isn't an Iron Mines", or "Sacrifice 3 Iron Mines to get any 3 things, each of which must be different from the others."   I'm edging towards the former, but I feel that if the latter were intended, it would be worded the exact same way.

The locations need to be different from the one you sacrifice, not from each other. The wording is actually fairly clear, since "for each location sacrificed" means that you're gonna loop the same effect x times with a different condition each time. Otherwise, this part would have no reference " with equal or lower printed cost" either, which makes it clear that the comparison happens between the sacced and the searched card. Pretty sure the wording would include "search your deck for a number of different locations equal to the number of locations sacrificed" or something.

Yes, it's very easy to say that the original wording is clear after the FAQ on the card is released.   Too bad you didn't chime in earlier to show us how clear it is!  You could have saved us some legwork!  :P

Ha, greetings Mister B. ^^ Are you still playing this? ^^ I agree in a way, if they would have wanted the locations to be all different they would have probably put in some wording to really emphasize that... but I don't think it's absolutely clear...

 

If you put in an example, let's say 3: "Sacrifice 3 locations. For each of the 3 locations sacrified, search your deck for a different location with equal or lower printed cost and put it into play." In my opinion, that could also mean that u can search for 3 locations that have to be different from each other, but not from the 3 locations sacrificed. At least it is a very difficult distinction to make.

And why would you sacrifice a location to then search for the same location anyways? Maybe there will be GJ locations that have an if-sacrificed-effect one day? Well, I guess it would be a good way to get rid of cards like Frozen Solid, which they wanted to prevent with this wording? Anyways, it's an interesting card, but I don't think it's very useful...
